Not even a Demogorgon could have stopped Stranger Things fans from attending Lego's latest late-night launch - some queued for more than 12 hours to get the new set.

Lego's £179 model depicts scenes from the hit Netflix Series, and fans began queuing at the London flagship store from mid-morning in anticipation of the midnight launch.

It was a secret as to what the new model would be, but teaser shots on Lego's official Instagram page tipped fans off, and they flocked to the Leicester Square shop to get their own.

Philip Thorne, from Port Talbot, South Wales, waited for more than nine hours for the "special occasion".

"The joy of Lego is so exciting, my kids are so excited," he said.

Tasha, a fan from London, wore Stranger Things-themed fancy dress for the launch.

She said: "I love Lego and I love Stranger Things. This is a merging of two worlds that I love."

Lego whipped up excitement on social media ahead of the launch by sharing famous moments from the series replicated with pieces.

The third season of the hit show is due to launch in July.

One fan from Inverness, who gave his name as Jack, queued up since 10.30am on Tuesday.

"I've grown up with Lego, but I've never really grown out of it," he said.
